I'm taking pictures (I forgot to take pics of the things I've wrapped so far, oh well) but I can't post all of them because...well....you know how some things have a distinctive shape and stuff? I know realistically she probably wouldn't notice if I posted it wrapped- but I'm trying to be a sneaky snake and am too paranoid that she might see it and out two and two together lol.

I think you can find stuff like the bon bon nail polishes, lip smackers, geogirl stuff and bath and body works, but mascara might not be age appropriate. there are lots of cute stuff at target that goes on clearance that has like hello kitty shower/bath gels or something that you could check out. cute hair accessories or necklaces or something at claire's would probably work too.

Love it! Thank you so much! That's exactly what I will give her!
Just FYI, I saw CVS had quite a bit of Lip Smackers as part of beauty clearance at 75% off. I bought the Dr Pepper one (nostalgia gets me every time!) for 59 cents! Also, Ulta has Baby Lips buy 1 get 1 half off. I love the idea of giving bath and body works lotion, scent sprays, etc.

I have a 10 year old (almost 11 year old) daughter. She loves the lip smackers lip balm (especially the skittles flavored ones), body sprays, fancy smelling soaps, lotion, & nail polish. You can't go wrong with lip smackers. I still use them too! Ha ha ha.
Seriously so cute! I want all the kittiesPaul and joe have a fantastic line- there's a thread on mut about it! The ones I have I believe are tony moly(cats wink) and then there's a Peri pera tint- not cat shaped, but has a cat-deco on it. They're Korean- I use roseroseshop but you can find other sellers if you so desire. Very affordable too!

Dear SS, I'm sorry I haven't mailed out your package but I promise it will go out soon!
To answer the two questions I saw; My favorite Disney princess is Snow White, and I'm allergic to Blueberries.
Sorry to hear that my condolences to you and your family.

Oh, Love the hair tie and nail polish idea! I have some extra "swiss dot" instain blushes... I thought about tossing one of those in there. Or is that not age appropriate? What about some yes to wipes or something?

Like others said, I would skip the blush. The thought of my sister wearing blush scares me. I could see her looking like a clown because she's very heavy handed lol.

I am trying not to think about my Secret Santa too much. I hope my SS didn't have any trouble picking out items for me. Im really simple actually, lol my SS last year made me cry with the attention to detail that was put into everything! I love this part of MakeupTalk.
I've been trying to figure it out. My boyfriend keeps telling me "can't you just be surprised?" but I have to try and get clues. I have two ladies that might be possible santas (if they are regular posters) but really I won't know until Saturday - an elf just let me know it's on its way and Squeeeee! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Same here, but I have serial killer hand writing awful awful hand writing poor SS prob won't be able to read her stuff. On a happier note my dough is chilling finally. hubby says just buy it this year but I've spent SOO much this past month I really shouldn't
All my teachers used to say I either wrote like a doctor or a mad scientist. Hope my SS understands what I wrote. So nice you are making cookies from scratch.

Just in case the ice storm gets me. :brrrr: I promise to return as soon as we defrost. Literally the city is shutting down. You have to love the south and a little snow. There is not a loaf of bread in the whole county.

Absolutely! (as long as no judgment is involved, lol-although, I must say, I've seen you around the boards, Miss Formosa, and I think we have VERY similar spending habits
On to the tally, in the order that the damage was accrued:
1) Sephora- first online run for Black Friday goodies
2) Birchbox-placed a $35 order to the advantage of the extra 75 point promo
3) Sephora- picked more Black Friday items that were showing OOS when I placed my first order
4) Kiehl's- 5 Deluxe samples + free shipping on any order!
5) Bumble & Bumble- two travel sized Items, three minis, and 4 foils with any purchase + free shipping!
6) Ulta-I went crazy. yikes ...BUT, I also picked up the Lavender bag of free samples valued somewhere around $100, so YAY !
7) Sephora-again. I kept seeing new things that I needed :/
8) Everday Minerals- LOVE their brushes! Plus I've been wanting to pick up one of their brush rolls forever and they just came out with new shades of the tinted lip butters
9) 100% Pure- 10 selections of products/sets of products for $10 each! I LOVE their body lotions, and I've been meaning to try other products from the line so , it was a great opportunity! I picked up a nail polish trio, a hand cream trio and three of their pigmented fruit cream sticks for lips!
10) the Body Shop- never tried anything from here, and 50% off was just too good to pass up! I loaded up on minis of just about everything
11) Undrest LA- non beauty related, and their usual prices are STEEP, but it's my favorite brand of lingerie/swimwear on the planet. 50% off site wide..They use Supima cotton, all handmade in the US in some of the most adorable patterns/colors I've ever seen. Highly recommend.
12) Exp....OH MY GOD. I just realized I am at way more than 10.. Youre going to have an awesome mail day.

Every time we're on Snow Alert here in Atlanta I always get a mental picture of people screaming MILK AND BREAD!!! MILK AND BREAD!! FOR GAWD'S SAKE MILK AND BREAD. Why not Cheetos and Pepsi? Vodka and Orange Juice and Firewood? It's always milk and bread.
Stay Warm.

My gift will be here tomorrow...I'm so excited I could pee! I hadn't really thought about MY gift in all of my excitement about shopping for my girl. It's been a lousy mail week (I have gotten NOTHING except for bills from the time I broke my ankle - merry christmas to me) so I'm just super excited! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
Also got shipping for the order I made, so my girl's gift will be on its way as soon as that arrives. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
